FATAL FALL FROM A WAGON.

Dohn Skurse, who has lived in town
for number of years, and has been Il
resident of this village the past two
years, started from here for Ripton on
tina afternoon of Sunday last. He went
through the village of East Middlebury
between four and five O'Clock. About
seven o'clock one of the Race girls
found him lying under the wagon, which
stood in the Ripton road, part way up
the hill from East Middlebury. The in
dications were that he had fallen from
the seat and that the horses at once
stopped, as he was almost under their
heels and in front of the forward wheels.
He was taken into the house occupied by
the Lawrences, near at hand. Those
present appear to have been badly fright
ened, or not to have realized the serious
character of his injuries. AT any rate it
was almost nine o'clock before doctor

HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY.

II does not seem 10 i've known yet what
course the creditors will take In relation
TO the debt, or whether the Legislature
will favor q settlement on the basis OF the
negotiations that were broken of last
year It's known, however, that there
are some politicians In the State who will
favor reputation, and the conservative
members of the Legislature ought to be
quick to oppose any such idea. 1t has
been urged for long time that The cred
itors were forcing the State into terms,
and that under a system OF threats we
were not bound TO act strictly according
to the high principles that apply to obi
cations.
Now il, as is claimed, the bondholders
are so completely beaten, let us place the
question Of the debt settlement on the
character of the people and see if they
will not decide TO act squarely according
to the capacity of the State and accord.
ing to the principles Of fair dealing that
obtain with honorable people, and that
in mercantile age are doubly impera-
tive If We wish to progress in proportion
to our opportunities and resources.
We do not see that the constitutional
ily of the coupon crusher has been tried,
or that II can he established when II is
tried.
But the point We urge Is that those
who consider the State beyond the reach
OF the Federal Courts and free from
prosecution must discard the excuse Of
defense against violence, and consider
the debt question in Itself weighing the
obligation by the standard that the world
accepts That Is to say we owe certain
amount, and the creditors declare that
they will not accept what We cali The
Riddlebcrger settlement Then let us
see how much we can pay, ana the result
ought TO be a satisfactory adjustment to
both sides. the creditors virtually carry
ing a loan at a reduced rate Of inl rest.
The opinion delivered by Justice
Matthews draws a distinction between
this case and the case OF State officer
who attempts to levy upon The property OF
or to imprison citizen under an uncon-
stitutionaI State law and says that in the
latter the State las, being unconstitution-
al, is no law at all, and the officer there
fore is acting without authority but in
The case Of a constitutional law the officer
is an authorized agent OF the State, which
can only act through her agent. and he
cannot be Yield personally responsible
for his official action under the law.
That is Justice Matthews distinctly re
iieratcd the former opinion of the court
to The effect that the State officer enfor 70
ing an unconstitutional law was liable as
tfespasser
